Wherever you are flying on Southwest, you can listen to iHeartRadio throughout your flight on nearly 700 planes.

The airline offers iHeartRadio’s digital live-streaming service to their free on-board in-flight entertainment system.

Southwest iHeartRadio

Travelers can select from live radio stations or customize their own station by choosing from hundreds of artists.

The station will then play music from that artist and others who are similar in style.

Southwest Wifi iHeartRadio

If you already have the iHeartRadio app on your smartphone, you can listen to it from there, or you can access it through the Southwest entertainment portal.

Once passengers have turned on iHeartRadio, the music will play as long as the entertainment portal is open in a tab.

This means you can browse the rest of the portal, check the flight tracker or surf the web if you have purchased WiFi access.

Here’s how to access Southwest Wifi.

iHeartRadio is not available on international flights due to licensing agreements.
